I have accumulated numerous parts, enough to get started on some homebrew rx's. 3361's filters etc. Is it possible to use breadboard to experiment b4 making pcbs. Done lots of digital electronics but new to rf. My mate seems to think that because of the frequencies involved success is unlikely.

cheers

For RF you use special board with lots of small blocks on it spaced 2.54mm apart. Bottom of board is one big copper plane (becomes ground plane) I have done plenty RF on this stuff and it works a treat. Veroboard not ideal for RF but can work.
